"Levity and Passion Have Destroyed Me."
A shrewd officer, Alfred Redl became a colonel in the Austrian Army. There, his talent for organization earned him the position as head of espionage operations. But he lived a dangerous double life. Russian agents had discovered his homosexuality and bribed him with men and money in exchange for Austrian military secrets. Eventually, his treason was discovered, and Redl chose to shoot himself rather than be killed by fellow officers. |
